User Question: This is my first time applying for a work permit. Does the processing time actually take four months? For reference, I applied after 152 days of submitting my asylum application.
Expert Answer: Processing times for an initial asylum-based (C08) Employment Authorization Document (EAD) vary, but it typically takes around 3 to 6 months. While some applications are processed faster, USCIS workload, background checks, and case specifics can affect timing. You can check estimated processing times on the USCIS website and submit a case inquiry if your application exceeds normal timeframes.
